Manchester United<\/a> boss Sir Alex Ferguson<\/a> has revealed new signing David de Gea<\/a> is not guaranteed to begin next season as the clubs first choice goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard completed his \u00a318.3 million move from Atletico Madrid earlier in the summer following Edwin can der Sar\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n

However, Sir Alex has admitted De Gea faces a battle with Denmark international Anders Linegaard to become the club’s first choice.<\/p>\n

“The only area where we may have to be patient is in the goalkeeping position,” he said.<\/p>\n

“De Gea is only 20, he’s young. He’s played in the Spanish league for a couple of years, but it’s not the English league.<\/p>\n

“I think he’ll need time to settle in, but the potential is enormous. It’s absolutely unbelievable, the potential the boy has got.<\/p>\n

“We’ve also got Anders Lindegaard, so we may get a challenge for them both to accept, but in time the boy De Gea will make it his position, there’s no doubt about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Gea, 20, recently joined his new team-mates in the club’s pre-season tour of America following an extended holiday due to his involvement in the European U-21 tournament earlier in the summer.\ufeff<\/p>\n
